"The world in which we live is a unity of contradictions or a unity of opposites: cold-heat, light-darkness, Capital-Labour, birth-death, riches-poverty, positive-negative, boom-slump, thinking-being, finite-infinite, repulsion-attraction, left-right, above-below, evolution-revolution, chance-necessity, sale-purchase, and so on. The fact that two poles of a contradictory antithesis can manage to coexist as a whole is regarded in popular wisdom as a paradox. The paradox is a recognition that two contradictory, or opposite, considerations may both be true." [cit]

"Anxieties about the debilitating effects of amusement have been around for a very long time. In contemporary usage, the phrase entertainment value usually implies three things: entertainment does have some kind of value; something that has entertainment value isn't otherwise very valuable (not 'That's entertainment!,' in other words, but 'That's just entertainment!'); and, paradoxically, this very lack of value is what gives entertainment its ability to enchant and manipulate both masses and individuals."[cit]

"American youth has a whirlwind medley of entertainment technologies, and children are some of the heaviest users of all that is available. Young people are without question spending huge chunks of their lives on the Internet and inside electronic media. It's not uncommon to see kids doing homework on the computer while simultaneously chatting with friends on instant messenger and listening to iTunes in the background. Although there are public concerns about the relationship between electronic media and attention/behavior problems, researchers have only found inconsistent evidence that links ADD and electronic media use."[cit]
